Improving bone width for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to widen the jawbone so there's enough room for a dental implant. It may help people who have lost some teeth and have a narrow ridge of bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are missing at least one tooth and need a wider bone ridge before getting a dental implant.
- Your jawbone ridge is between 4 and 6 mm wide (measured by a special X-ray).
- You have enough vertical bone height so no bone grafting is needed.
- You have good oral hygiene and can commit to follow-up visits.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.

This study compares two techniques to make a narrow upper jawbone wide enough for dental implants: one that condenses the bone (osseodensification) and one that splits the ridge. If your upper jaw is very thin (2–4 mm), you may qualify.
This trial compares two methods to widen the upper front jaw bone so dental implants can be placed. One method uses a piece of your own bone, the other uses the existing bone to create more space. The goal is to find which technique works best for people with a narrow jaw ridge.
This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
This trial compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild bone in the back lower jaw using special barriers (custom 3D zirconia or titanium mesh) to support a dental implant. It may help if you have severe bone loss and want an implant.
